Courtyard House: Starting as an engineer, crushing a yard full of poultry

inside the room.

"Brother Dong, I'm really sorry, that's just how my cousin is. She's just a relative of mine. At worst, we'll just have less contact with her after we get married. Don't take it to heart, Brother Dong."

Yu Li said softly, somewhat embarrassed.

"Xiao Li, what are you thinking? I'm marrying you into the family as my wife. What does it have to do with your cousin? I'll try my best to help you in the future, but of course I won't agree to other things so easily, even if she's your relative. So don't worry."

Li Xiangdong said with a smile.

Hearing Li Xiangdong say this, Yu Li finally felt relieved.

Yu Li was truly afraid that these relatives would ruin such an important event for her before her wedding.

Then I'll regret it for the rest of my life for meeting someone like Dong Ge.

Yu Li had no idea how many lifetimes of good fortune she had accumulated, so naturally she cherished it immensely.

Chapter 80 Liu Guangqi Gives Gifts

Liu Guangqi excitedly took the 100 yuan that Liu Haizhong had given him.

First, I went to the department store and bought a pound of white sugar, a pound of brown sugar, a pound of milk candy, and some tea.

With only 50 yuan left in his pocket, Liu Guangqi looked at the gifts he was carrying and weighed them in his mind.

For a section chief, this much is about enough; any more and the department head probably wouldn't dare accept it.

I need to think about the reason for going there this time. Going to the section chief's house casually, saying I'm just taking a look, is something a superior does to a subordinate.

Liu Guangqi thought to himself, "I can only say I'm paying a visit."

With the Lunar New Year approaching, why not take this opportunity to go?

Maybe the section chief will be in a good mood and give the position to me.

With that in mind, Liu Guangqi excitedly picked up his things and headed towards the section chief's house.

"Clang clang clang!"

"Who?"

"Section Chief Wang, this is my name, Xiao Liu. I've come to pay you a visit."

"Little Liu, which Little Liu? There are so many Little Lius in the factory, what's their name?"

Section Chief Wang was in no hurry to open the door, even as the year drew to a close.

There are many people who come to visit him and pay their respects; it can't be just some nobody.

They would personally open the door to receive you unless it was something important.

It would be quite difficult for an ordinary person to get into the house of a section chief like him.

"I am Liu Guangqi, and my father is Liu Haizhong. I don't know if you remember me. My father asked me to come and visit you, saying that the end of the year is approaching and I wanted to pay a visit."

Liu Guangqi's forehead was covered in cold sweat, and his heart was trembling uncontrollably.

I never expected it to be so difficult to get into the office of a section chief; I even had to ask who I was.

Liu Guangqi was also thinking things through. If this was the case, the section chief definitely wouldn't receive ordinary, insignificant people.

I don't know if using my father's name will work, but I can't come here empty-handed!

"So you're the son of the sea! You didn't lock the door, did you?"

Section Chief Wang spoke lazily.

Only then did Liu Guangqi dare to gently push open the door. He was shocked when he entered the room, not knowing what he was seeing until he stepped inside.

The furnishings in the home of a section chief were not understated either; upon entering, one would see an eight-immortal table.

This eight-immortal table is not like the ones on the market; a closer look will reveal the difference.

This eight-immortal table is actually made of rosewood, which is a very rare wood.

For ordinary families, getting a bedside table made of mahogany is extremely difficult.

In fact, Section Chief Wang's home contained a mahogany eight-immortal table.

Liu Guangqi dared not look to the side any longer, quickly averted his gaze, picked up his things, and walked inside happily.

Section Chief Wang glanced at the things Liu Guangqi was carrying and immediately understood what was going on.

"Xiao Liu, you're just here to visit me, why bring so many things? It's such a hassle for your family to go to so much trouble. Find a place to sit, there's tea over there, pour yourself some."

Section Chief Wang's tone was full of disdain and contempt, considering how many people came to give him gifts.

This was the first time Section Chief Wang had ever seen someone carrying such shabby things.

You could say you don't want to give me anything, but at least give me some real cash, that would be acceptable.

I really don't think much of the things Liu Guangqi is carrying.

To put it bluntly, if he wanted something, he could just wave his hand and get it; why would he need Liu Guangqi to deliver it to him?

"It's almost Chinese New Year, and I haven't prepared anything fancy. These are just some trinkets that don't meet your standards. I'm just here to pay you a visit."

Liu Guangqi could also hear the dissatisfaction in Section Chief Wang's tone, but there was nothing he could do about it.

It was already quite an achievement for my stingy father to give me 100 yuan.

These things should be enough to bribe a section chief.

It can only be said that Liu Guangqi was unaware of some of the things happening on the official road; if he had known...

Liu Guangqi would definitely not take such a small thing; don't underestimate Section Chief Wang just because he's only a minor section chief.

He wielded real power; he was a high-ranking official in the steel rolling mill, overseeing dozens of people.

"Speak, what brings you here? Let's get straight to the point, I have some personal matters to attend to."

Section Chief Wang spoke frankly and directly.

It wasn't that Section Chief Wang was fearless, but rather that the things Liu Guangqi brought were simply not to his liking.

Even if you were given a 100-yuan bill, you could change your attitude a little.

·· ·····Requesting flowers·· ·

However, these things were too low-grade and didn't do justice to Section Chief Wang's status.

"Hehe, since you value your time, Director Wang, I won't take up any more of your time. I've come here today because I have an important matter to ask you. I remember there's a section chief position that's quite vacant in our factory."

"That seat seems to have been empty for a while. Could I have it? If I take it, I'll come to visit you every month."

Liu Guangqi also realized that the things he had given were probably not enough to sway Section Chief Wang in front of him.

So he changed his prepared excuse, saying that this little thing couldn't sway Section Chief Wang.

They would come and pay tribute every month, only spending a few silver notes.

... ........ .......

As long as I can stay in this position, it won't exceed a year and a half at most.

Who knows, I might be able to reach the position of deputy section chief, and then I won't have to keep coming here to give gifts to Section Chief Wang.

It's a sure-fire way to make money by exchanging small profits for much greater ones.

"You're the head of the blackboard bulletin board section, aren't you? That's a position many people want. It's not that I'm unwilling to help you, it's just that so many people are eyeing that position. Even if I wanted to help you, I wouldn't be able to!"

Section Chief Wang clicked his tongue, picked up the teacup on the coffee table, and took a small sip.

The intention was very clear: they wanted Liu Guangqi to back down and leave on his own.

After all, those things are indeed not to be taken seriously.

"Of course, we are already very grateful that Section Chief Wang has such a kind intention. There are a few other things, but I didn't know what you would like, so I didn't buy them. This 50 yuan is also some New Year's money for your child. Since there's nothing else, I'll take my leave now."

Liu Guangqi was also quite quick-witted; although Section Chief Wang had said this much, he was still quite perceptive.

But I can't really be a fool; once something is given away, there's no reason to take it back.

Moreover, Liu Guangqi understood the principle that "he who takes a man's money is bound to him, and he who eats a man's food is bound to him," regardless of the circumstances.

Let's send the goods out first, and then we'll see if Section Chief Wang will give us some face.

If they give it to us, there is still hope; even if they don't, there is still hope.

This thing has already been given away, there's no reason to take it back.

Chapter 81 Setting a Wedding Date

Upon seeing the 50 yuan that Liu Guangqi handed over, a glimmer of light appeared in Section Chief Wang's eyes, and he pondered for a moment.

"Well then, considering that you and your son have worked in the steel rolling mill for most of your lives, I'll give the Liu family some face. I can't guarantee that I'll get it done for you, but I will definitely talk to the leaders about it."

"It's just a section chief position. If no one else interferes, I can still keep this position for you. I'll just take what you said before as fact."

Section Chief Wang felt that Liu Guangqi was more quick-witted than his father.

Since that's the case, why not try to get some extra benefit from it? No one in this world doesn't love money.

Even if he's just a section chief, with only a fixed monthly salary, why wouldn't he be happy to earn some extra income?

Besides, it's just a matter of going to talk about it on March 8th; whether it succeeds or not, I won't suffer any loss.
